ON Friday ia-t. Its height, ns near ns

miles, and its course a little south Of

wonder OF the skies eau S.d a deal OF

including the teachers anil pupils Of the

CHAPTER XXIV.

NOM ERIC coz AT.
When Mr., Aston and Ernest found them
selves safe upon Transvaal soil, they deter
mined to give up the idea of following any
more big game for the present, and 10 content
themselves with the comparatively humble
wilderbeeste, blesbok, springbok and other
small antelopes. The plan they pursued was
TO slowly journey from one point of the
country TO another stopping wherever they
found the buck particularly plentiful In this
way they got excellent sport and spent sew
eral months very agreeably with the further
advantage that Ernest obtained considerable
knowledge of the country and its inhabitants
the Beers. The time passed ON pleasantly
enough, till at length they drew near to Preto-
ria the capital of the Iransvaal, where they
had decided TO go and rest the oxen for a
month or two before making arrangements
for real big game excursion up toward
central Africa, They struck into the Pre-
toria road just above a town called Heidel-
berg about sixty miles from the former place,
and proceeded by easy stages toward their
destination,
As they went on they generally found it
convenient TO outspan at spots which il was
evident had been used for the same purpose
by some wagon which was travelling one
stage ahead of them So frequently did this
halltll tudt uullHS lHcll III llNt OF SIX out
spans they were able on no less than three
occasions to avail themselves of the dying fires
of their predecessors camp, This was mat
ter of lively interest to Ernest, who always
did cook; and very good cook he became.
One of the great bothers of south African
travelling is the fire question. Indeed, how to
make sufficient fire to boil kettle when you
have no fuel to make it Of is the great ques-
ton of south African travel. ready made
h'e is, therefore, peculiarly acceptable, and
Tor the last half hour Of the trek Ernest was
always IN great state uf expectation as 20
whether tho wagon before them had or had
not been considerate enough TO leave theirs
burning. Thus it came 10 pass that one
morning, when they wore about fifteen miles
from Pretoria, which they expected TO reach
the same evening, and the wagon was slowly
drawing up TO the outSpan place, Ernest, ae-
compenied by Mazooku. who lounged about

However this may be, when n woman decides
